Since 2017, The Spin Awards has united radio, artists, media and other industry professionals in an appealing setting to celebrate the achievements of radio within the Christian Gospel radio industry. These spinners make meaningful contributions to the ears of listeners, yet rarely receive the recognition for their work. The Spin Awards presents an opportunity for spinners to be appreciated for their life impacting efforts and for people to connect and experience an exceptional time during the entire Spin Awards Weekend Experience.
The Spin Awards, a national non-profit organization, is the first and only platform that only honors those who spin the Gospel message. This highly anticipated prestigious event jumps off at the Aurora Theatre in the Atlanta, Georgia area, Oct 12-14, 2023, featuring top-notch musical guests with host Stellar Awards Nominee & WFMV Radio Program Director Tony Gee and Co-Host Comedian GRIFF of the Get Up! Mornings With Erica Campbell Radio Show with a special appearance by Everett Drake, of the Bobby Jones Gospel TV Show and the "I Told The Storm" legendary singer, Dr. Greg O'Quin. The first two days of the Spin Awards will include free workshops, showcases and the Spin Awards pre-ceremony. The last day concludes with a Red Carpet gala and the Saturday night main ceremony.
